01/The challenge

Mentorship platforms tend to be directories with a search box. The burden of working out who is genuinely relevant falls on the person who, by definition, doesn't yet know enough to judge.

02/The solution

We built matching that reasons over goals, stage and domain rather than keyword overlap, then wrapped it in scheduling, session notes and progress tracking so the relationship has somewhere to live after the first call.

03/The results

Mentees reach a productive first session faster, and repeat-session rates hold well above what a directory model produces.

They treated it like their own product. The matching logic is the reason the platform works at all.
